The battle for the starting strong safety job between SS Kurt Coleman and SS Jaiquawn Jarrett got more interesting when the team signed free-agent SS Oshiomogho Atogwe. Coleman and Jarrett are still considered the favorites for the job opposite FS Nate Allen, with Atogwe serving in a backup role and as a veteran mentor.

Philadelphia Eagles SS Oshiomogho Atogwe, who received no up-front money to sign with the team this offseason, is scheduled to make the league minimum base of $825,000 this year, which means he is likely to have a reduced role. He'll provide depth behind Ss Kurt Coleman, Nate Allen and Jaiquawn Jarrett. Atogwe has only $100,000 in fully guaranteed money, but he can make up to $100,000 in roster bonuses ($6,250 per game) and $225,000 in incentives. His deal is worth $1.15 million overall.

Philadelphia Eagles SS Oshiomogho Atogwe said he has talked with the team about the role they want him to play and is willing to do what is asked of him to help the team win. "They brought me in because they believe I can help the team be successful. I'm here to serve, so whatever capacity that is, whether it's playing, whether it's running down on kickoffs. I'm here to help the team win. My role will be defined by how well I learn the defense and how well I play and it'll be defined by what head coach Andy Reid feels is best for the team," Atogwe said.
